Useful For

Testing for IgE antibodies may be useful to establish the
diagnosis of an allergic disease and to define the allergens
responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms.

Testing also may be useful to identify allergens which may be
responsible for allergic disease and/or anaphylactic episode, to
confirm sensitization to particular allergens prior to beginning
immunotherapy, and to investigate the specificity of allergic
reactions to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical
allergens.
